INTRODUCTION

I am pleased to report on the performance of the Jersey Prison Service during 2011. While  meeting  our  commitments  to  the  Comprehensive  Spending  Review  and operating within a reduced budget, it has nevertheless proved to be a very productive year.

Prisoner numbers were slightly up on 2010 figures for most of the year, only dropping down from mid-October through to the end of December. The daily average was 184, and the peak 200, in comparison with 178 and 199 in 2010.

Staffing levels were up to strength for most of the year in most areas, but I allowed the number of Prison Officers to drop to 11 below the approved complement by the end of the year. This was in preparation for the introduction of a new Officer grade in 2012.

The commitment to staff personal development continued. I am delighted to confirm that  2 Officers  completed  the  SVQ  in  Custodial  Care  (although  not  required  to complete  until  June  2012)  and  2 Senior  Officers  gained  their  SVQ  Assessor qualifications.  Four  members  of  staff  from  the  Learning  and  Skills  department completed the City and Guilds Assessor course taught by Highlands College and 4 PE staff  completed  the  Central  YMCA  Qualifications  (CYQ)  Level 3  Personal Trainer Qualification. A number of middle-managers are making good progress on the Modern Manager Development courses.

In  conclusion,  I  am  delighted  to  report  on  another  very  good  performance  at H.M.P. La Moye and I take this opportunity to thank the staff at the Prison for their commitment and support during 2011.

Bill Millar Governor

MISSION STATEMENT

  • H.M. Prison La Moye will provide a healthy, safe, secure and stimulating environment for all who live and work here. Prisoners will be encouraged to address their offending behaviour and to become involved in education and work-related  training,  which  will  enable  them  to  live  a  law-abiding  and purposeful life in custody and after release.
  • Supportive relationships with families will be facilitated in order to maintain the positive links that will ensure a successful return to the community. In partnership with other agencies, the Prison will provide effective ways to reduce crime and its resultant social and economic costs.
  • Our aim is to be a model of best practice and an example to other prisons.

PRIMARY AIMS

  • Protection of the public by keeping in custody those persons committed to us by the Courts in a safe, decent and healthy environment.
  • Reduce  re-offending  by  providing  constructive  regimes  which  address offending behaviour and improve educational and work skills.
  • Supporting offenders' positive relationships with their families in order to assist their successful return to the community.

  1. Facilities

4.2.1  The Department works in the following areas within the Prison –

  • Carpentry production workshop
  • Carpentry training workshop
  • Painting and decorating training workshop
  • Brick and blockwork training workshop
  • Life skills kitchen
  • Female recycling workshop
  • Female carpentry finishing workshop
  • VPU recycling workshop
  • Horticulture compound
  • Education Centre (EC) – a general classroom and IT classroom
  • Library
  • Art room
  • Association rooms on each Wing – for Basic Skills and ESOL lessons
  • Fitness  Centre  and  Sports   Hall ,  including  astroturf  area  and classroom.
  1. Key developments in 2011
  • Progress  has  been  made  with  the  prisoner  education  network (ix system'); this has grown as part of a 3 year project from a very basic collection of 40 individual PCs to become a secure, integrated and centralised network across the Prison, with computers located in association rooms, the library and in most cells. Prisoners access their

individual files using a biometric fingerprint reader, so avoiding the potential  problems  that  may  arise  from  password  sharing.  The principal  aim  has  been  to  provide  a  tool  that  will  enhance  the educational opportunities for prisoners. The network enables all to have access to a virtual learning environment that is supportive of the educational  programmes  that  are  on  offer.  It  also  provides opportunities to promote behavioural management programmes, drugs and alcohol programmes and health care plans.

  • Investment in training for the Physical Education staff has enabled the department to gain the accreditation to teach a range of vocational training and recreational courses. External verification processes have confirmed a high standard of provision.
  • The  exercise  referral  system  has  facilitated  good  management  of prisoners with physical ailments that require prescriptions for pain relief. A further link between Health Care and the PE department has been the introduction of the Physiotherapist, who now receives clients within the PE facility as part of the referral system.
  • The new Astroturf pitch was completed and ready for use at the end of February.  This  facility  has  an  excellent  floodlit  surface  that  has enhanced the provision of sport at the Prison.
  • A kiln was installed in April for ceramic art work. This was purchased using a generous art charity donation.
  1. Learning opportunities
  1. A core curriculum is accessible to all prisoners. This consists of –
  • 1 Basic Skills lesson per week
  • 1 ESOL lesson per week
  • 1 ICT lesson per week
  • Additional ICT lessons linked to ECDL training
  • 1 Open Learning tutorial per week for those on programmes
  • 1 Art lesson per week
  • 1  library  session  per  week,  plus  one  other  for  those  engaged  in learning programmes
  • 1 library extension session for those on open learning programmes
  • A programme, offered in rotation, of Level 1/2 vocational training in painting,  carpentry  and  brickwork;  each  of  these  courses  is  of 6 weeks' duration and is full-time
  • Industrial Cleaning Training for all prisoners employed as cleaners in the Prison (not available from March 2011 until March 2012)
  • 4 recreational, staff-supported, Fitness Centre sessions per week, and 3 recreational, staff-supported Sports Hall sessions per week
  • A fitness referral programme linked with Health Care – those placed on this are not able to access mainstream PE activities but receive 3 fitness and 1 general sports session
  • A programme of accredited sports courses in a variety of disciplines (offered  in  rotation),  some  using  Community  Sports  Development Officers, others linked to gaining industry standard vocational training qualifications.
  1. The teaching of the basic skills of literacy, numeracy and ICT has continued to be a priority. All prisoners are now required to complete a basic skills assessment  before  being  allowed  to start  any  educational  course.  Each vocational training  course  has  some  IT,  literacy  and  numeracy  embedded within  it.  A  part-time,  basic skills teacher  is deployed  to ensure  that  the training material used is appropriate to the ability of the student.
  2. All new prisoners received an education induction interview within the first week of entering the Prison. These interviews link into the sentence planning process. All prisoners embarking on Learning and Skills programmes must complete  a  Target  Skills  assessment.  The  outcome  of  these  assessments determines the level of support provided by the department to the individual during the course.
  3. The Prison's third art exhibition was held in March at the Harbour Gallery. This has become an annual event, offering a showcase for prisoner artwork. It also exhibits some of the carpentry and horticultural products generated by prisoners working within the Learning and Skills department.
  4. Several  outside  agencies were  used to deliver  courses:  ACET  provided a comprehensive package of courses on blood-borne viruses to all Wings and one  longer  course  for  the  Young  Offenders;  the  Youth  Service  provided bi-monthly  sessions  to the  Young  Offenders;  Brook  provided  sessions  on sexual health to the Young Offender and Female Wings; the Jersey Careers Service attended drop-in sessions during library lessons, according to need, throughout the year.
  5. The Learning  and  Skills  department  have  accreditation  with  several examination boards, allowing the Prison to administer and invigilate a wide range  of  public  examinations.  Accreditation  is  in place  for:   Scott ish Qualifications Authority (SQA), Central YMCA Qualifications (CYQ), Sports Leaders Awards, Junior Football Leaders Awards (JFL), English Basketball Association Awards (EBA), Open College Network (OCN), the European Computer  Driving  Licence  (ECDL),  British  Institute  of  Cleaning  Science (BICS), Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examinations (OCR) and Assessment and Qualifications Alliance (AQA), University of Cambridge ESOL.
  6. The Library  facility  is accessible  twice  a  week  to all  Wings  on  a  fixed timetable; in 2011 there were 4,348 visits from prisoners to the library and 6,060 books  were  borrowed.  Both  figures  represent  an  18%  increase compared to 2010.
  7. Prisoners have been supported in a variety of Open Learning options, ranging from Level 4 Open University courses to those studying at Level 2. During 2010, 80% of the OU funding was received from Education, Sport and Culture grants, and 10 prisoners secured Prison Education Trust funding. A further 6 prisoners were engaged on Open University courses.
  1. A range of courses continue to be offered to all prisoners on a rotational basis. Short  courses  have  been  provided  in  art,  football,  cricket,  financial management, and healthy eating.
  2. The department has continued to support staff training by taking sessions on report-writing, returning to study and ICT support, especially for individuals working towards their ECDL qualification.

  1. Examination Results for 2011 See Annex B.
  2. Staff Development
  • 4 staff from the Learning and Skills department completed the City and Guilds Assessor course taught by Highlands College.
  • The Open Learning tutor is being supported by the Prison to study for a Diploma in Art Psychotherapy.
  • Prison teaching staff attended courses offered to teachers working for ESC; this has included Edexcel Functional Skills training and an oral language acquisition presentation.
  • The  4  PE  staff  have  completed  a  CYQ  Level 3  Personal  Trainer Qualification.
  • The PE Manager successfully completed a Level 2 UKSCA Olympic Lifting course and an IMF Biomechanical Screening workshop.
  • Prison  Officers  training  to  provide  relief  cover  for  PE  staff  have undertaken courses in their own time: 7 have gained a CYQ Level 2 Gym  Instructor  qualification;  10 staff  completed  a  Tag  Rugby coaching award; 10 staff completed a basic football refereeing award; 10 staff completed an English Basketball Association refereeing and leaders award.
  • A strong link with Highlands College has enabled their vocational training  staff  to  provide  regular  informal  support  for  the  Prison instructors.  The  Quality  Assurance  Administrator  at  Highlands provides formal support for the City and Guilds courses.
  1. Work-related learning

4.9.1  The opportunities for work-related learning have been extended –

  • Scott ish Vocational Qualification in Catering at Level 1 is offered to all prisoners working in the kitchen.
  • Non-accredited horticulture courses are in place (these will gain SQA or City and Guilds accreditation in 2011).
  • The carpentry production workshop employs 10 prisoners who are involved in tasks that utilise the skills they have picked up on the City and Guilds craft courses.
  • The horticulture compound employed between 17 and 22 prisoners, depending on the season; learning opportunities in this area will be formalised in 2012.
  • The Prison is accredited to teach British Institute of Cleaning Courses.
  1. Employment
  1. The Activities  and  Employment  Board  (established  in September  2008) continued to ensure the equality of opportunities for all prisoners, against identified criteria for employment and education places. The rates of pay do not  disadvantage  prisoners  attending  educational  programmes,  and  the Learning and Skills provision is designed as an integrated part of the whole regime.
  2. The carpentry workshop produced a range of garden furniture products, sold mainly  to other  States  Departments,  but  also  to  community  projects  and schools. Larger orders from the Co-operative Society and some schools have enabled some of the finishing work to be located in the H Wing workshop.
  3. The output from the horticultural area compared favourably with 2010, with a slight increase in revenue being recorded. The Unit continued to employ up to 22 prisoners.
  1. The arrangement  with  Transport  and  Technical  Services  (TTS)  regarding recycling continued to operate well and provided a source of revenue for the Prison.
  2. A  pilot  scheme  with  TTS  that  involves  bagging  soil-improver  has  been successful and will continue to operate in 2012.
  3. The increase  in  full-time  vocational  training  and  other  education  courses resulted in most of the prisoner population being actively involved in some form of constructive activity.
  4. The numbers shown in the Table 4.11.1 below show the numbers of prisoner jobs available by Wing throughout 2011. The average rate of employment for all those wishing to work in 2010 was between 80% and 85%. For convicted prisoners the figure was between 90% and 95%.

  • The department has been fully staffed throughout 2011 and this has facilitated  the  development  of  nurse-led  health  improvement  and triage clinics.
  • 99 prisoners were tested for blood-borne viruses and 62 prisoners had cholesterol levels checked.
  • Help and support was available for those prisoners who wish to stop smoking and for those who are morbidly obese.
  • Figures  for  prescribed  medication  averaged  around  50%  of  the population.
  • Alcohol detox figures have increased slightly to 33.
  • The  visiting  Physiotherapist  attends  once  per  week  and,  when appropriate, moves prisoners on to the Referral gym sessions on site in the Prison. This is a successful intervention with very few prisoners requiring attendance at the Physiotherapy Department at the General Hospital.
  1. Complaints

6.2.1  There  were  6 complaints  against  the  health  care  department  in  2011  as follows –

  • 2 related to requests for dentures
  • 3 regarding insufficient pain relief
  • 1 seeking a prescription for anti-depressants.
  1. Detox
  1. The number of detoxes for substance abuse is divided into 3 main categories –
  • for Opiates;
  • for Benzodiazepines; and
  • the  majority  are  poly-drug  abusers  who  need  a  combination detoxification for both Opiates and Benzodiazepines.
  1. The breakdown of detoxes was as follows –
  • Opiates and Benzodiazepines detoxes  =  23
  • Opiate only detoxes  =  6
  • Benzodiazepine only detoxes  =  9

  1. Breakdown of Observations

  1. DRUG AND ALCOHOL PRISON SERVICES (DAPS) TEAM
  1. Overview

During 2011, the Drug and Alcohol Counsellors made contact with every prisoner on induction and were able to offer a comprehensive assessment. Interventions have continued to be delivered mainly through one-to-one work, although some group-work programmes were completed, as set out below.

  1. Total of One-to-One Interventions in 2011

  1. Total of Prisoners attending Group Interventions in 2011

8.3.1  The above were delivered to 2 Alcohol Study Groups and one Drug and Alcohol Course. Courses ceased from the middle of the year whilst a review of programme delivery took place. The core components of the Alcohol Study Group have been covered in one-to-one sessions with 9 prisoners.

  1. From the population at the end of the year (165 prisoners) 132 prisoners were on the Drug and Alcohol Counsellors' caseload. All young offenders had engaged in one-to-one counselling and, of the 14 female prisoners, the Drug and Alcohol Counsellors worked on a one-to-one basis with 11 women. The remaining 3 did not have a drug or alcohol problem.
  2. The Drug and Alcohol Counsellors have continued to facilitate visits to the Prison  from  representatives  from  Alcoholics  Anonymous,  who  run  group meetings with prisoners on a weekly basis.
